I don’t. Instead, I ask softly so this conversation stays just between the two of us, “What’s wrong?”
He turns toward me, and even in the back of the dark car at night, I can see the regret on his face lit up by the headlights from the car behind us. “Five hours doesn’t feel like enough time.”
“I was just thinking the same thing,” I admit.
“Then let’s not just make this about one night,” he says.
I clear my throat. I love that he’s asking me for more...but I’m not exactly ready to jump into a relationship with someone when I have literally no idea what his life is like now. “What are you suggesting?” I finally ask.
“What if we keep in touch? Nothing exclusive, no commitment on either side, although the thought of you with another guy makes me want to punch something...but we just take our time and get to know one another.” He avoids eye contact as he talks, but his warm, strong hand still grips mine.
“You really want to do that?” I ask, thinking of what his life must be like and what he’d be potentially giving up so he could get to know me—not that he really committed to giving any of it up, exactly.
He lifts a shoulder. “Life on the road...it gets lonely. And that loneliness seemed to go away the second I saw you when I stepped off the bus today. We have tonight, Dani, and maybe that could turn into more than just one night.”
More than just one night with a rock star?
I think that’s an idea I can get on board with...as long as the rock star is Tyler Caldwell.
“Ask me later,” I tease, and he laughs.
I lean over and press my lips to his. He relaxes into my touch, and maybe we haven’t seen each other in ten years, but it feels like he’s the kind of old friend where we can pick up right where we left off.
Sort of.
A lot has changed. Location, looks, attraction, careers...and, of course, these strong feelings, but one thing remains. He’s a good guy, and I know who he is deep down. I know who he was before he broke out in the music world.
And I can’t wait to get to know more about the guy he is now.
After we make out in the back of the car and have more sex on my desk over the next five hours.

No commitment. That was my deal with Tyler from the start, at least until his tour was over and we could be together. But thirty days filming a reality show here, two years overseas with his band there... Is it really any wonder why I didn’t tell him about the baby?
He comes looking for me once he’s back in the country, but he runs into the man I married instead. Eventually I agree to meet him so I can put the past truly behind me. When I see him, though, every feeling I held inside comes rushing back.
My husband and I vowed to raise this baby together. But as I find myself drifting away from the husband who stole my job and gravitating toward the rock star who stole my heart, I realize he deserves the truth.
I just have no idea how this rock star who doesn’t make commitments is going to react to the fact that he’s a father.
